True or False // Exodus 20:16 Sermon // The Ninth Commandment

Your words are never neutral. When we think of the ninth commandment, we often reduce it to a simple rule: "Do not lie." But by commanding us not to "bear false witness," God targets the courtroom of our everyday lives. From flattery and gossip, to half-truths and strategic silence, we constantly use our words as weapons to protect ourselves and destroy others. In this message on Exodus 20:16, we look at why we bend the truth, how Jesus- the only truly innocent man- allowed Himself to be condemned by false witnesses, and how the grace of the cross transforms our lying lips. Discover how the Gospel takes the weapon out of our mouths and gives us a true witness in its place. Ten Commandments Series 2026 - Exodus 20:16 - Pastor Justin Stevers 7/12/26 fbchawriver.org
